The Occupied Territories the iPhone app

Americans for Peace Now have released an iPhone and iPad app that allows viewers to see occupation of the West Bank with maps and facts. (The blue houses are Israeli settlements.)

Here is the info from peacenow.org....

Welcome to the Americans for Peace Now map. You can use this map to explore the data we have collected about settlement activity in the West Bank. The map is organized in several layers that show different kinds of data. In the Layer Selector, you can click on the headings to view different areas of the map with pre-selected sets of layers. Or, you can turn on or off individual layers to customize your view.

When you select an individual settlement, we'll show you the data that we've collected about it, such as the year it was established and its population.

When we post news stories about events in the West Bank, we'll include a link that takes you directly to the location. You can then explore the area so you can understand the news in context.
